I just got a remington 700 338 lapua and am looking for a scope. For now i don't have too much money to spend so I was looking at the vortex viper 6.5-20x44, 6.5-20x50 or the nikon monarch 6-24x50. Any opinions, pros, cons, and ideas will be appreciated.
 
Re: 338

I'd go for the 50mm objective options. The glass on both are about equal, with the edge probably going to Nikon. However, the Nikon is only a 1" tube. The 30mm tube on the viper is more common amongst higher end Scopes so you wont have to buy new rings if you choose to upgrade.
